CAN REF0RMERs.
Speeches from Messrs. q. L. Carter, L. g.
Tyler, and James ".
Dunlop.

a large meeting OF the Union Demo-
cratic Club was held in the old Pine
Street Baptist church hall, in Clay
Ward, last night. Mr.. II. L. Carter
was tie first speaker introduced. He
reviewed the work OF the Democratic
party in the interest Of labor, and said
ne would state, without fear OF success
ful contradiction, that for every bill
passed 10y the Republicans for the poor
man the Democratic party had passed
two.
LYON TYLER.
Mr.. Carter was followed by Lyon G..
Tyler, who said when he was before the
meeting some time ago he WAS con-
yincod that the Republican party was
endeavoiing to allure the workingmen
into their party by phantasm and de
ccit, but now the thing had come en-
tirely to light, and the Reformers were
not trying to show the people they had
a party of their own, but had confess
cd they were none other than the Re
publican party.
The lion skin of Reform over the de-
cayed carcass Of Republicanism, said
Mr.. Tyler, portrays its cOrruptness. 1t
can be seen that their object is to send
Malone back to the United States Sen
ate. The Reformers don't think the
Democratic panty pure or white enough,
and vet they go to black Republicans
to have it purified and whitened.
A voice in the crowd asked: Is
there any Republican party. Malone
and Wise fifteen years ago were Demo-
Gratis what are they nOw?"
Mr. Tyler: 4" He is a political Bar
NUNS What Is It?' Malone and
Wise will get the turkey of the cleo
ton and the vorkingmen will get the
turbey-buZzard. ~
4 man in the crowd: "John Wise
said lis dogs were better than work
ingmen.
Mr.. Tyler said he thought Wise like
cackling hen, who laid an egg and
then cackled over it in Fishcrmons
Ball before a crowd of Republicans.
Mr. Tyler condemned the action Of
the Hepublican-Reformers in "spot-
ting men at the primary polls and
cnGcayoring to bulldoze iEeemen.
JAMES y. DUNLOP.
Mr. Dunlop came before the crowd
amid continued hurrahs. lie said that
all the people in the State were looking
ahxiously to the election in Richmond.
He remarked in regard to the Van Do
ran conyictlabor bill that its effect
had been impeded by the contract
made with a shoe firm by Republican
Governor Cameron. lie related how
the Republicans had opposed the
"scIip bill.
Mr.. Dunlop in relation TO the "di,.
satisfied element - in the Democratic
ranks said they were like men who sui
fired most from heat two hours after
noon. The sun Of Republicanism is
now going toward the western horizon
md the times are had, but when the
sun of Eepublicanism once sets forever
the sun OF Democracy will arise In
glorious splendor and the people wi!
be loppy once more and exist IN pros
perity.
Mr.. Dunlop was pronounced in his
condemnation of the Federal courts
usurpatlon. He said Judge Bond had
10 more right to enjoin Attorney-Gen-
eral Ayers in executing State law than
the Judge would have had to restrain
Governor Lee in approving bill and
cast him in Jail if ne signed it,
